Launching in beta today: Moblyng, a service that helps you
look at stuff on mobile phones that your phone wouldn't
ordinarily be able to look at -- like Flash-based slideshows from
Slide, videos from YouTube, photo albums, other widgets, etc.

Moblyng was previously Fliptrack, which let you make photo/music
slideshows, etc. Now it's shifting focus to a service that lets
you move existing slideshows from other companies to mobile
phones.

How does it work? Go to Moblyng's site, key in your MySpace (NWS) or
Friendster (yeah, we know) profile, and input a few phone numbers
who you'd like to send your goodies to. Moblyng's servers convert
Flash-based media -- which your phone probably can't understand
-- into images and videos in formats that your phone probably
can understand, and then send a text message that the
phone can use to boot up a mobile Web page.

Moblyng founder/CEO Stewart Putney says his service works
especially well on smartphones, including Apple's (AAPL) iPhone
and phones running Microsoft's (MSFT) Windows Mobile. We tested
it on an aging Palm (PALM) Treo, and it worked fine, though the
videos were smaller than we would have liked.

Is this service necessary? Doesn't MySpace have its own mobile
site? Yes, it does, but unless you have a tricked-out phone with
Flash, you won't be able to look at anything Flash-based, like
photo and video widgets. It's also fairly handy to have a copy of
some of your photos, slideshows, and videos on your phone, which
you can show people when you're not at a computer. Overall, we
think it's a solid-looking product, but probably not something
we'll use ourselves very often.

Moblyng has raised $5.7 million in series B funding from Mohr
Davidow Ventures and Deep Fork Capital.
